We delve into our experiences visiting the weathered 20-foot busts of past American Presidents at the "Ruins of President's Park" in Virginia. These remnants of an ambitious, yet short-lived theme park are not pristine but provide an eerily captivating glimpse into history. Jenn explains that each statue was intricately detailed and represented the presidents faithfully while Scott discusses his experience filming these massive structures. They also touch upon the vestiges of President's Park in South Dakota and Texas.
